Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 12909
Rotate images
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Writer should be able to rotate images (and perhaps other objects). Rotating via Draw is often possible, but it's an awkward and resource-intensive workaround. As a sidenote, I remember that old Word Perfect for DOS was able to rotate images. I used to make fun of more recent MS Word versions because they couldn't do such a simple thing. Now, I'm surprised to find that OpenOffice.org can't do it either.
Reassigned to BH
Set to "NEW"
Yes, a long wished feature. Currently we just support rotation by 90° via dialog.
The graphic layer in Wordprocessor is no going to be enhanced for Q.

I have to correct one comment. Writer has the possibility to flip graphics horizontally and vertically, the used word "rotation" was wrong. 90° rotation is possible in the competing product.
Any news for this one? We would like to change our whole manual creation process to OOo because of its "include" functions, but in a first review the "rotate image" function was missed.
I can rotate image in Calc (ver1.1.1), but in writer I can't. That's all.
When implementing rotation of images in Writer, it would be very nice when the rotated image has direcly the corresponding contur, so that you don't need to define an imagemap (how it now when you workaround via Draw).

is there a problem on implementing this feature in writer or is the priority to low to be noticed ? A naive user (like me) could think that the funcionality is present in OOo but the menu entry was "forgotten" to add. There was a small riot on this topic on a heise.de forum because nobody seemed to believe that the feature realy is missing. (some thought that it is just well hidden) maybe it would be enough to add a menu entry to create a draw object out of a d image imported to writer ? http://www.heise.de/newsticker/foren/go.shtml?read=1&msg_id=10007130&forum_id=94312 (german)
Based on: 1. the number of duplicates of this bugs already filed 2. the definitions and examples of priority levels given in http://qa.openoffice.org/scdocs/ddIssues_EnterModify.html#priority (Functionality which is not available, but a workaround exists) I suggest this bug's priority is reassigned to P3.

to bh: as this issue already more than 3 years old. and already get rfe_eval_ok. Please consider to assign to somebody please. Thanks
Hello utomo99 RFEs with the keyword rfe_eval_ok are not assigned elswhere and not sent around. These pre-approved issues are already on focus in our team and currently get handled for a final decision.
This issue seems to be dup of http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi? id=3545. Dear users, please transfer your votes to 3545.
This should at least be mentioned in the help-file documentation including a description of the workaround. Very frustrating to have to look all over the place for such a basic feature. Unbelievablé, that this issue has been on here for 5 years! (see also 3545)
dupe then *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 3545 ***
